Are you finding that the hardest part of transitioning to the cloud isn’t the technology – it’s the people? 

Successful cloud transformation relies on successful talent transformation. You need the right people with the right skills to meet your business goals. But how do you get there?

Join our virtual roundtable discussion to hear directly from Drew Firment, Chief Cloud Strategist at Pluralsight and Mark Ross, Global AWS Chief Architect at Eviden (an Atos company). Drew and Mark will share tips on what you need to consider when developing your cloud talent strategy. 

To make the most of the time with our speakers and your peers, please come prepared to share your insights and to ask questions - it’s the perfect opportunity to get answers to your own cloud challenges.
